[Bug 379406] [NEW] kuser ignores /etc/skel

[ceg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdeadmin

kuser creates subdirecories in the homes, mimiking other OSes behaviour,
but /etc/skel is not used for this.

Instead /etc/skel might provide pub/, priv/ and incoming/ directories with correct permissions.
And /home/groups/users/writable and /home/groups/users/readonly may be provided.

Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify
/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow."
